Christmas Presents for Pooches

Why not take the time to make your best friend and extra special gift this Christmas, a Christmas sleigh bell dog collar.

All you need is...

A dog collar, bells, felt and glue.

The dog collar needs to be a fabric or woven type collar that can be stitched into. Choose a nice festive colour like red.

You can buy bells from craft shops or your local haberdashery. The larger the bell the more 'Sleigh bell' the ring of the bell will sound, and your pooch will sound like a reindeer prancing along. Small bells have a high pitch ring, ideal for small or lady like dogs, the delicate tinkle makes them sound like small Tinkerbell the fairy.

Adjust the collar to fit your dog comfortably.

Sew bells at regular intervals around one edge (the bottom edge). About 4 CMS is a good gap between bells.

If you are using small bells sew them on in clusters of two or three larger bells can be sewn on singularly.

The bells need sewing on firmly so that they don't come off. Your dog may try to eat them.

Cut out holly leaf shapes and berries from some felt and glue them into place between the bells. You could substitute the holly leaves for fabric Christmas tree bows for lady dogs.

A cute Christmas collar gift for your dog, which will make your pooch jingle festively on every walkies!

Do not leave the dog wearing the collar unattended.

Homemade Christmas Presents for an 18 year old guy?

He's not my boyfriend, he's just a regular friend. He's 18 and a junior, and i have like zip money. I don't even have money to get the stuff for cookies or anything, and nope, parents wont float me. No money for amterials to sew, crochet, or watever. I wanna get him something really cool because his parents aren't even getting him anything and i feel bad for him, plus he's getting me something. Anything you know of that would be super cool? I know he likes food, but i have none. I don't know too much else about him, i only have him in two classes.

All guys love sweets - make some homemade cookies and but in a basket and tie bow on - it is the thought that counts.

Hugs and Good Luck
